Turning caring experience into opportunity.
Caring changes lives. It can be rewarding, but it can also mean fewer opportunities to work, study, or follow personal goals. Carerpreneurs was created to support carers — unpaid, paid, and former — who want to explore self-employment and build flexible futures.
If you’re a home-based carer dreaming of something more — a flexible business that fits around your caring role, you’re in the right place.
At Carerpreneurs, we provide practical digital resources and 1-to-1 support to help you take the leap into self-employment with confidence.
Whether you’re just exploring ideas or ready to launch, we’re here to support every step of your journey.
Digital Resources
Downloadable guides, checklists, and templates covering everything from business ideas to marketing basics. Designed with carers in mind — flexible, jargon-free, and easy to follow.
These will be available from November 2025. If you would like to be kept informed, please signup for our newsletter.
